ENOD40, which are activated during early stages of Rhizobium-induced nodulation, are also induced during AM formation. These observations, together with the ancient nature of AM formation, suggest that some of the plant processes leading to nodulation may have evolved from those already established for fungal endosymbiosis. ENOD40, is also not very attractive for Nod factor signal transduction studies since it is activated in the root pericycle and it is unknown whether Nod factors are transported to this tissue. Furthermore, this gene can be activated by chitin fragments. Hence, this gene might be activated by fungal cell wall fragments, which makes it unclear whether its expression is of physiological meaning. |
